New York City FC goalkeeper Sean Johnson and forward Jonathan Lewis Tuesday were called into the U.S. men’s national team for their second consecutive camp.

Center back Alex Callens received a call-up into Peru’s camp for friendlies against Paraguay and El Salvador.

Johnson earned his sixth cap in a 3-0 victory over Panama in January. On Sunday, he kept his first clean sheet of the year in a scoreless draw with D.C. United.

Lewis made national team debut in the same match against Panama and provided an assist to Christian Ramirez after coming on as a substitute. He followed up his debut performance with a second assist in as many appearances against Costa Rica.

Lewis has appeared in both matches this season for NYCFC and assisted Ebenezer Ofori’s opening day goal in a 2-2 draw at Orlando City SC on March 2.

Callens has 11 caps, most recently appearing for Peru in October when he played 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw with the U.S.
